We're Back

We have made it home from our trip. We had a GREAT time. I admit though it was really good to sleep in our own bed last night!!!!!
The trip started off going to a cottage of some friends of ours...Ken and Melody Bailey. They have a cottage just outside Huntsville...right on a lake. It was gorgeous. It was also very relaxing. I got to sit on the deck on a lounge chair...practicing my new hobby...knitting...while the kids swam in the lake all day. They had a blast. They swam and played in the water all day. Rob went water skiing for the first time. He did a great job. Emily and Rob went on the tube behind the boat and then Rob tried it solo. He did great. His dismount was even better!!. A full cartwheel in mid air!!! Besides forgetting sunscreen for Noah ( he was burnt to a crisp!!) and Noah getting stung by a bee the last day, we had a lot of fun.
After the cottage we went to Wasaga Beach. We stayed in a dump of a hotel...the people above us decided to jump off thier beds until 1:00 am. The next day was spent on the beach building sand castles. It as a little chilly...we wore sweatshits all day...but the kids still played in the waves and swam a little. We had a good day.
We went to Rob's sisters from there to spend some family time. We went to the trailer, went to hurch...Rob got to play in the band!...took the kids swimming and spent some good quality time with Rob's family.
We left there Monday morning and still had not decided what to for the day but the weather decided for us...rain!! So we asked the kids where they wanted to go...Noah's pick and apparently dream was Chucky Cheese's. We spent about 4 hours there and the kids had a lot of fun. A good time if you are thinking of going!!
From there we drove to Ian and Lauren's. They are moving to Winnipeg in a few weeks and this was our last chance to spend some time with them before they left. We spent the night there and said our good-byes in the morning. It was hard knowing we would not see them for awhile. They will be missed by all of us!!
From there we drove home!!
Today and the rest of the week will be spent finishing our floor project.
I will post some pictures of the trip soon!

Hey Melissa,
Sounds like you guys had a great time!!!
The cottage you went to with the Bailey's wouldn't happen to be in Fenlon Falls would it????
Well, I'm glad you guys have arrived safely home.
